High performance concrete (HPC) is of great topical interest to the
construction industry worldwide, with applications in high-rise,
offshore, nuclear and bridge structures, and in precast concrete.
Among the benefits of HPC are improved workability and strength,
leading to faster and more economical construction; more durable
concrete, especially important for bridges, offshore and nuclear
structures, and highways; and improved structural characteristics,
which allow more economical and efficient structural designs. The
French national project, "New Developments for Concrete", is
providing important insights into the materials characteristics of
high performance concrete, and also of the structural behaviour of
a number of major buildings and bridge structures. This book
contains a series of 35 selected reviews and reports on HPC by the
leading materials scientists and engineers contributing to the
French programme. Previously, they have only been available to
delegates at seminars and meetings in France but the most valuable
have been edited and translated into English in order to make the
results of the programme widely available.
Provides a thorough review of properties, durability and use of
high performance concrete, derived from recent research and
experience. This book contains contributions from the leading
French, Canadian and Swiss researchers, designers and material
specialists, translated into English for the first time.
